- Fine. Since this is a computer newsgroup that is hardly to the point.

- Now for the point: The comments Gates makes indicated that he is desperate.
- If he wasn't worried about OS/2, he wouldn't even mention it. Instead,
- he puts OS/2 down at any opportunity. In addition, he is never even
- slightly objective about the issue; I can come up with arguments for
- choosing NT over OS/2, why can't Gates?

- It is amusing to me that a network comprised mostly of nerds would be
- so hard on Mr. Gates. I don't think these comments are at all in order.
- He is clearly very good at business. There are questions about his ethics
- however. I think that's the worst that can be said.
